My adventures in knitting and designing. I'm particularly fond of mittens, Christmas stockings, cables, and anything with colourwork but occasionally other things creep in too.

Progress

My quilt is going pretty well. I have all of the squares assembled and should have the quilt top and (hopefully) the border on today. You can tell I'm not experienced, but I'm happy with how it looks and it is being made with love so that's all right.

I'm on the lace section on TinCan Knits' Bonny. I thought the project would be really dull for the first while, when it's just 12" of laceweight stockinette but it ended up that I'd work on this when my other projects were too fussy, or when I was watching TV and was shocked when I got to the lace part. There's actually an extra half inch there because I didn't realize I had already hit that measurement. I like my tops long, so that works out quite well. Things are going quickly now because the lace is interesting, which is good because it's the only thing I'm actively working on, I've lost the pattern for my other project and because I had charted it out by hand I'm going to have to do some work to recreate it before I get back to it.

About Me

When I was twelve I was at an aunt's cottage and saw my grandmother knitting. I asked her to teach me and after a few rough starts fell in love with it. My knitting patterns can be found
